My Demon Husband Is a Snake

I feel sick at the sight of snakes, especially one so large.

Falling back half a step, I looked towards the pocket of Li Yitian and pulled out a charm that had been blackened.

It was this charm given by Yu Longting that had protected Yitian, and even sliced the White Snake into two sections, but the charm seemed to have been overused and was already destroyed,

"Who I am is none of your concern, and what demonic creature are you? Sneaking into a house in the dead of night, stealing the soul of a child, aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

"Lowly human! You are not worthy to inquire my status, dare to harm my serpentine body, I will kill you."

All of a sudden, the viper went into a frenzy, the head part surged forward, open baring its fangs and bit towards me.

How could I possibly fight against such a ferocious snake spirit, in a flurry I threw out two pieces of cloth pierced through the hair, which instantly transformed into mine and Xiao Yitian's likenesses.

Then the puppet that had transformed into my likeness had its neck pierced by the sharp fangs.

Blood spurted out immediately, and the entire being collapsed like a torn doll.

I was so frightened I could barely breathe, but I held onto Li Yitian and dashed towards the door.

One hand grasped the handle, trying to pull the door open.

But I found the handle ice-cold to the touch, and no matter what I did, I couldn't pull it open, this normally easy-to-use old wooden door,

Behind me came a cold and gloomy sneer, definitely not from a human mouth, muffled with a hissing sound, "Can make puppets? You're a Mystic Arts Master?! Don't even think about running, with the injuries I've sustained, even if I die, I'll make sure you go down with me."

"Don't... don't kill me! I... I have the ability to treat your injuries." I mechanically turned my head, eyes widened, staring at the blood-drenched head of the giant snake floating in front of me, trembling uncontrollably.

The snake scoffed coldly and spat poisonous breath at me, "Human, don't even think of deceiving me. I'm already cut in two, how could I live?"

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!" My eyes turned red with urgency, I took out a newly made Peace pouch and threw it into its gaping maw.

After swallowing the Peace pouch, the snake's remaining body writhed in agony, "What did you feed me, you wretched woman??!! I'll kill you, I will kill you, slash your entire family."

I gently covered Yitian's mouth and nose to prevent the vital energy on her body from leaking out and being tracked down.

Abandoning any hope of escaping through the main door, I quickly ran to the window instead.

Fortunately, my day-to-day work was all about physical labor, and my body was still quite agile and nimble.

One hand holding Xiao Yitian, I was able to jump onto the windowsill with ease.

Facing a height of two or three meters, I cleared my mind of distractions, without any hesitation.

In a hurry, I jumped out the window, adjusting the posture of my falling body.

"Mommy, no, don't! Falling from so high, you'll get hurt!!" Li Yitian opened her eyes in the moment my body was airborne, her large eyes brimming with tears.

After landing, I crouched down, and my knees hit the ground hard, "Didn't I tell you to keep your eyes closed and not to open them?"

Only in this position, both Yitian and Dumpling could avoid injury.

But my knees felt shattered, an acute pain surged through me, my vision flashing black and white.

"You're protecting me. I know it, mommy. Does it hurt... It's my fault for slowing you down, all my fault..." Yitian cried out sorrowfully.

The bushes underneath provided some cushioning, so it wasn't too bad.

Several painful cuts grazed my face from tree branches, but a small hand was gently stroking my small face.

With gritted teeth, I bore the pain and tried to stand up, finding that I could still barely stand, and I ran in a certain direction, "I'm not hurt, Yitian, mommy is fine, don't talk, be careful not to let the bad people find us."

The little girl nodded vigorously, but still couldn't help the big tears falling, soaking my clothes.

Above my head, the enormous snake head smashed through the glass.

Glass shards scattered, and the snake head pursued me relentlessly.

Despite the intense pain as if my bones were shattering, I ran for my life without looking back.

Even though I was injured, that snake wasn't faring much better, with only a snake head left to wreak havoc.

Now, it was a matter of which one of us would give out first.

"You lowlife!! To kill you, to kill you~ to chop you into mincemeat!!" The snake head roared madly, chasing after me in frenzy.
